Religion Or Personal Relationship?


© 2015 – Joy Babafemi

“Christianity is my religion.”
Is not what the Lord sees
So what makes the distinction,
To the One we are trying to please?

It is not at all enough
To believe there is a God
And acknowledge the power of
A Supreme One who is not flawed.

Didn’t the Israelites know God’s power?
He parted the Red Sea before them
But still their love turned sour
Whenever they encountered a problem.

God even rained down manna
To feed his people the Israelites.
And even though they sang hosanna,
The selfish city only complained of their plights.

It is human to long and crave
For things that make our lives pleasurable,
So we want to sin and misbehave
And still shout “God is able!”

Do not serve God the way you like—
Not like Sodom and Gomorrah,
For them God did strike,
Same with Ananias and Sapphira.

Looking to justify our deeds and sins
With quotes and Biblical scriptures
Is where self-deception begins,
For God knows the heart of all creatures.

Sunday morning in the chapel
Is not what it is about.
Study and OBEY the Bible,

Then by God you can be called devout.
